6. Julian Edelman – WR – New England Patriots

Time and time again, we see Edelman stepping up in the biggest of moments for the Patriots. The teams leading receiver on the year, which he did in just 12 games, was at it again for the team against the Chargers. Edelman posted nine catches for 151 yards en route to their convincing win. With no more Josh Gordon and Gronk becoming invisible, Edelman will once again be forced to step up.

In his 16 career playoff games, Edelman has 98 catches 1, 175 yards, and five touchdowns. Not to mention his magical catch against the Falcons that helped led the team back to victory. He is Brady’s go to in the clutch and will have his name called a lot against the Chiefs. Against a weak secondary, Edelman should continue his playoff magic.
